← GeographyWhich outcome develops within a continental transform plate boundary due to stress accumulation?
A)Strike-slip fault earthquake cycles✓
B)Rapid glacial isostatic rebound
C)Widespread alkaline lake formation
D)Extensive stratovolcano chain eruption
💡 Explanation
Earthquakes occur along transform boundaries during stick-slip behavior because frictional resistance prevents constant sliding; therefore, periodic, high-magnitude earthquakes are characteristic, rather than gradual creep, glacial rebound, lake stratification, or volcanism, which arise by different geological processes.
